Normies that are upset with Windows will switch to macOS.

You guys are smoking crack if you think regular people are going Linux.

At this point, I’d just be happy they’re switching off windows out of spite.

I’ve never been a Windows hater like some people in the industry, and have actually enjoyed and appreciated some of the weirdness and quirks from an OS perspective. I’ve also known

But man this Win11 stuff feels so fucking extreme it’s ridiculous. No I won’t use your MS account. I’d have switched over to Linux or BSD if it wasn’t for games/niche hardware (yes, I know of proton, but this is an HN thread so my personal anecdotes override your evidence)

Regular people don’t even know to be annoyed/angered by the login stuff. This is nerd maxxxxxing.

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win.

J/k, but I still love Linux and as a family it admin, people in my sphere get pushed there.

I like Linux too. But also I can read the room.

I largely fit that - switched to macOS after Windows 7. I'm put off Linux because I use Excel all the time.

Switching costs a thousand plus dollars, or you can install this on your existing machine.

If it were only about money, Linux would’ve taken over 20 years ago.
